Hi Suresh, Very good thoughts.
After reading your mail, I just pondered over it. Personally to me, I am already feeling satisfaction :) for getting the co-operation of so many people and for starting the field activities too. Coming to general thinking also, we do the things, especially when it comes to social work, we are so excited and enthused and when we do not see what we anticipate, we really feel discouraged, depressed and feel like 'Is it all necessary?', 'Can't we use this effort on more work?'. This is but natural. But everywhere it would be the same, for any project. Coming to Raju's case and Asma's case, it was not so easy. With respect to Sireesha's case, there is really no words to describe the efforts of Krishna garu. Only because he is committed for the cause, he executed it till the end. I am sure he would be in touch with Sireesha and would be knowing her well-being. So whatever be the case, it is not easy. As Murali opined, we can get/see immediate results in these cases. Today in Andhrajyothi, I read about Mr. Vinay Akula who is working in villages and is helping the Micro-finance projects for villagers. He has to face stern opposition and even assaults on him. If we backup, then we cannot go ahead in any project. I do not mean, we shouldn't discuss. I only mean we should discuss on how we can overcome the initial depressions and how we can win the trust of the people. Raghu, no problem. Discuss in the monthly meeting. As Murali and Sowmya will be following mails, they can add this topic too to the agenda.
